Job-hunting Without Success? Try Visual CV.

VisualCV (Beta) aims to reinvent the resume AND the recruiting business, to benefit job seekers, employers, and recruiters alike.






They can transform your standard online resume into an interactive multimedia presentation in five (relatively) easy steps:

1. SIGN UP FREE
Can't beat that....

2. CREATE
Here you create a VisualCV by cutting and pasting from your existing resume in Word, PDF or plain text format. Right away, your resume becomes a live Internet document with built-in company and university research.

3. ENRICH
Next, you can easily enrich your VisualCV, making it a proxy for that first interview. You can add video, audio, charts, graphs, work samples, presentations, scanned documents and much more. The multimedia capabilities allow you to present yourself far beyond words on paper. Prospective employers get a full picture of you, your unique qualifications and how you present yourself.

4. SHARE
Finally, decide who gets to see your VisualCV. Share it with anyone you choose. Share it with your professional network, your database of employers who might each have their own company-specific VisualCV. You can even create different versions for different audiences, showing more personal information only to those you trust.

5. MANAGE
Each time you login to VisualCV.com, you start-off at your personal VisualCV Dashboard. This is where you manage most activities and functions, such as Privacy, Online, and Controlled Sharing settings, edits, multiple versions, etc.

WANING: Very slick ... however I don't see how they will generate income to stay in business.
